Hi Sue -

Yes, the berkey light with the black berkeys and the PF-2’s in the lower chamber would be effective for what you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks

Thanks for the overview. I live in a city and buy bottled water due to the added flouride and chlorine present in the tap water and wondered if the Berkey light would be enough to filter everything out. It sounds too simple to be really effective, but love Mike Adams’ reviews and he recommends this product. Would the bb work better than the ceramic in this situation, with the PF-2?
Thanks

Great information. I’ve been posting preparedness information, with clean water as the top priority.

And I recommend the Berkey as the perfect product for home use and emergency situations.

Hi Buck -

The black berkeys on their own would be your best bet and least expensive.

I’m interested in filtering well water with specific interest in making sure that heavy metals are removed, especially lead, mercury and aluminium.

Which configuration would do this best?..the ceramics with the PF-4’s or the Black Berkey filters on their own?

Thanks,

Buck

[...] It’s important to note that if you already own the Ceramics and are looking to address some of these missed contaminants like Lead and MTBE’s, the PF-4’s will remove this in addition to growing public concerns like Fluoride and Arsenic. Along those same lines, if you own or are considering purchasing the Black Berkeys and would like to remove Fluoride and Arsenic, choosing the PF-2’s as an add-on will accomplish this goal.

This is a great overview of the Berkeys. I have been studying these on-line for the past hour or so and this is a great summary.

I am torn on whether to buy the Big Berkey or to buy the ceramic cartridges myself and build my own water storage assemblies with plastic buckets. I am thinking that the stainless steel units will last a lot longer.

Great info…

What I find amazing with ceramic filters that its not like humans have actually invented this wonderful product - its left over life of stream and glacier beds.

Not only does diatomaceous earth protect our water via ceramic filters it also kills most known crawling bugs both microscopic and visible.

We live in wonderful world and we have been provided with wonderful tools - it’s about time we stopped screwing it up and taking better care of it.

Bigberkey produces wonderful products

Hey Dan,

Nice overview.

Thanks for blogging and thanks for the product shipment last month.

I got you a small plug in a blog I wrote last week: http://abela.me/blog/what-i-had-for-lunch/ — nothing big yet, still writing up my own review of the products.

Thanks again!
